While it seems some sort of Tournament mode is most likely, I think it would be interesting to see what they name it. They went thematic with their draft mode, why not the same with Tournaments and call it something like Battlegrounds.

You thought there would be something inspirational here didn't you?
Another options button or Concede button? .. Jokes
Its most likely a let down like the guy said "I bet it is a button that takes you to a screen where you change and select your heroes". Maybe not maybe it is 2v2 I'm not holding my breath though.. Heres hoping that its good
I hope it to be someplace to relax and forget all about Dr. Boom, Patron Warriors and top-deck Quick Shot into Quick Shot into Kill Command. Like a Hearthstone spa where there only is Nat Pagle fishing, Sylvanas dancing and the Secretkeeper massaging you.

I know you are semi-joking but I would give anything for a Challengestone-type tournament mode or even just play mode where say weekly the parameters change. Only even mana spells, odd attack creatures or stuff like decks with total dust cost less than 1k, etc. That would breathe such new life and energy into the game and be fun for everyone.
The origin of my little joke was the Challengestone concept precisely. We something that the game itself is changing regularly and not just the meta. I also hope there will follow a reward system that follows that idea and gives rewards due to how well you perform in this modes.

i'm hoping for some battlefield mode with warsong gulch and arathi basin and alterac. i don't know how exactly they would work, but i'm sure the guys at blizzard had enough time to think of something to translate that part of world of warcraft into the world of hearthstone. flags that need to be attacked by minions and stuff like that...

Probably tournament mode. But, one could imagine a campaign mode as well. I wouldnt' think campaign mode because of the massive effort it would take, basically layering a new game on top of this one, but I'd sure love it.
I doubt I'd do tournaments much, unless they gave you a free weekly entry or something. I wouldn't be interersted to go pay 100 gold to lose to someone with a much better deck (I'm f2p) and I'm not even sure I'd have a long enough block of time to fully complete a tournament (family man).
I will say this, I'm VERY impressed and pleased with how quickly Blizzard keeps new content flowing into the game. It's never gotten stale for me. Part of that might be -because- I'm a f2p player. I'm still chasing cards and have a lot of mountain to climb. Folks that just pay for all the cards might find the pace of new content too slow. But, for me it's surprisingly fast.
I would actually freaking LOVE a Statistics mode with all your stats in it. It probably won't happen though because reading in-depth about how much you suck is a bit of a turn off from playing and spending money :)
I'm not real sure about a Tournament mode tbh. You'd need at least 8 players right? What happens when a player loses the first game and then decides to quit/go offline? Are there time outs? Are there bathroom breaks? What happens if you want 16 or 32 players?! It's not that easy to organize tournaments on the fly between well known streamers, imagine trying to do it with random strangers.
I think the new mode is time related... 15 second timed turns? Nozdormu mode?
Well.. that sounds terrible. Would seem like a complete waste of a mode. You would think they could just add a check box in play mode for parties to agree to faster turns. A box devoted to it as a mode seems unlikely in my opinion.
this button slot has been there as long as i can remember and when adventure mode was coming out i thought that it would be for that. well, i was wrong. id have to agree with the above, maybe for achivements?
While it's probably tournament mode, I'm gonna be different and guess Custom Mode. Like Custom Games in Warcraft you can either join or create a custom game, and if you create a game you can modify all the normal statistics of a hearthstone match, such as starting health, banning classes or certain cards or types of cards, starting number of cards, or maybe even being able to use adventure hero powers and cards.

Really... it could be something related to In-game Events ( where tournament is a possibility, summer fest)...
Or it could be a Gem Activated button.

If you can promise me that you are a 4-mana creature?

I am going to make an educated guess that it's for cosmetics.
Yong Wu responded to TACPodcasts' Garret Weinzerl re: when will this be announced, with:
@GarrettArt@bdbrode all will be revealed... IN TIME
I think the new mode is time related... 15 second timed turns? Nozdormu mode?
or maybe he was just angry..
Yong Woo never gets angry on Twitter! lol.
The rest of the convo was:
(GarretArt) by "IN TIME" do you mean "the day after @TACpodcast records"?
@GarrettArt @bdbrode @TACpodcast hahaha. that would be par for the course. :)
Twitter Integration / Selfie Cam for Hearthstone (like WoW).

I'd love custom games. That should be a thing.
